One of the downfalls IMHO is that it does not have an adjustable strap.

1. Does anyone own a Yachtmaster 16622 and feel that the lack of adjustability on this watch make it uncomfortable during the day like in the afternoon when one's wrist swells a bit?

2. In Rolex E-brochure from Rolex.com they don't have the Silver faced 40mm any longer. Does this mean I will have to find an old model in a Rolex store or purchase used, or that Rolex isn't manufacturing it any longer?

3. Do the New ones have the Blue lume?

4. Any information or tips from those who own one would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, RSC can refuse to service modified watches.
I've never found the 16622 the least bit uncomfortable. No less than any older Rolex with stamped clasp anyways.
Rolex has slightly updated the 116622 with the Easylink clasp and endlinks in the platinum dial.
Yes, blue lume appears to now be the norm.

You can always replace the clasp if you can find one.
